Radiographic Assessment of Pelvic Inlet and Outlet View Angles in the Ethiopian Population

Accurate radiographic assessment is pivotal in evaluating trauma patients with suspected pelvic ring disruptions. The conventional approach of using anteroposterior, 45° inlet, and 45° outlet radiographs for the evaluation of pelvic injury may not consistently align with varying lumbopelvic anatomy. This study aimed to determine the ideal pelvic inlet and outlet radiographic angles when there is limited access to advanced imaging (e.g., computed tomography [CT]) for assessing clinically relevant pelvic osseous landmarks and to investigate variations based on age, sex, and sacral dysmorphism.
